Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
It’s hard to imagine a better real estate agent than Bernadette Caswell – and to be honest, I’m not someone who compliments easily. For the last 4 or 5 years, we would reach out to Bernadette when visiting Sarasota and ask her to show us available homes on the market. As luck would have it, when we finally put an offer in and were in negotiations with the sellers, Bernadette was taking a few well deserved days off. But airplanes and airport chaos did not stand in her way. She called in between her connection and continued working the entire time. Where she shined, even more, was from contract execution to closing. Her attention to detail to make sure everything was taken care of was just truly remarkable. Her calm but firm demeanor kept all the parties in line while making sure every detail was taken care of. To be honest, we didn’t realize how much a real estate agent stayed involved during that process. And I’d be willing to bet that agents do continue to play a role, but not to the precision of Bernadette. No question was too challenging for her, and if there were an occasional answer she didn’t know, she got us answers within hours, or probably within minutes. Her integrity and honesty are second to none, and we trusted her, and still do. We love our house in Lakewood Ranch and we attribute that all to Bernadette. Although we are still new to the community, I can assure you we will recommend her to every person we meet so if they’re in the market, or know someone that is, they strongly consider Bernadette. In our opinion, Bernadette is perfection.

Bernadette Caswell has been an EXEMPLARY agent during our recent experience. It has been proven that the selling and buying process is one of life's bigger stressors. This load was lessened because Bernadette has been masterful throughout the entire experience. We felt confident in her knowledge and expertise. She was readily available to us whenever we needed her, and when we had questions she gave carefully thought out responses. Kind, patient, creative, classy, savvy, professional and wise are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind when we think of Bernadette. We highly recommend her!!

It’s with sincere appreciation that I bring to your attention the outstanding service I received from Bernadette Caswell earlier this year. After my home was on the market for some time, I decided it needed the personal, high-quality service of a Michael Saunders agent. Choosing Bernadette was an easy choice. She went far beyond any other agent I have worked with, as I have sold many properties in Sarasota County. She made many knowledgeable suggestions, provided a list of qualified resources and helped with a difficult transaction by a buyer that pulled out of the sale in the 11th hour. The details she handled were far beyond your average transaction. I had already moved to my new residence in Arizona and I was very pleased to have the benefit of Bernadette's extensive experience to walk me through the sale of my home. Thanks to Bernadette for the successful sale of my home.

Bernadette and Linda got the job done. We had our home on the market the previous year without even a nibble. But, from the start of our contract with them, they aggressively pursued a sale for us, and never let up. We were in two realtor caravans. They were at every showing, even when they were stretched by other commitments. The partnership made communication easy and immediate. We can't recommend them more highly.

I am very happy to tell you that Judy was very professional, and it was a joy to work with her. She was extremely helpful in every way, far beyond what I would have expected. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone planning to buy or sell property.

Bernadette went beyond her call to help us find what we were looking for. She was always available to take our calls and accommodate our needs. Six weeks prior to our closing in our home in UPCC, she showed us a home that was compatible to what we wanted. Bernadette went to work and made it happen. She was able to arrange the closing of both homes on the same day. We could have not been more pleased with the service we received from Bernadette. She is not only a professional in her field, she's also a carrying individual who's first priority is pleasing her customers. We are happy to recommend Bernadette Caswell to others who are interested in selling or buying real estate in the Sarasota / Bradenton area.

My wife, Cheryl, and I recently completed the sale of our home in University Park Country Club and purchased a new home in the Esplanade in Lakewood Ranch. We had spent twenty years in our UPCC home after moving every 2-3 years during the previous 30 years. Bernadette Caswell and Linda Driggs worked with us to sell and Bernadette worked on the new purchase. Even with the vast experience of the prior moves, Cheryl and I were very apprehensive about moving after twenty years. I am writing to let you know that Bernadette and Linda were superb throughout the process and we could not have been more pleased with the results. They were tenacious, thoughtful, creative and more than met all our expectations. The UPCC home was not an easy sell and we needed more than a little bit of luck. But their response was fantastic when the opportunity presented itself. We very much appreciate them and your entire organization for a good experience.

Exceptional professional service is rare. We were fortunate to have experienced this rarity while working with Bernadette Caswell. She took charge of a desperate situation (we were the desperate situation) with total infectious confidence. There never was a misstep, hick-up or unanticipated event that Bernadette embraced with anything but aplomb. Her experience and straightforward demeanor places her into a class of her own. Thank you for the opportunity to have worked with Bernadette Caswell, The Exceptional Professional.

Thank you so much for all of the time and effort spent to complete the sale of our condo #702 at Blackburn Harbor. The transformation of our original condo into the showplace it became, through your furniture and decorating choices, made it easy for the new owners to choose our old condo for their new home. We sincerely are grateful to the time and care you provide to all of your clients. We've never met a better realtor. Thank you for your friendship.
